The No. 9 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) and the No. 22 Kansas State Wildcats (5-2, 3-1) play Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Cowboys rebounded nicely with a 41-34 win over Texas, making up for a 43-40 OT setback at TCU which left a bad taste in their collective mouths. This OSU offense is strong, going for 34 or more points in all 7 games, cashing the Over 6 times overall.
The Wildcats are hanging on to a top-25 spot despite losing at TCU 38-28 last time out. The loss for K-State came after a bye, so that was a difficult pill to swallow. Kansas State is 3-1 SU/ATS at home, with its lone loss to fellow top-25 team Tulane.

Oklahoma State at Kansas State picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma State 38, Kansas State 35
Moneyline
OKLAHOMA STATE (+105) is a value play here at plus-money, as I don’t think Kansas State (-130) is anywhere near as explosive on offense.
The Cowboys have registered 34 or more points on offense all 7 games this season, and the only concern is whether the defense can make things happen. OSU has been dinged for 31 or more points in each of the last 3 outings.
Kansas State’s offense has been inconsistent this season, and the pass game is nearly non-existent with 169.3 yards per game, ranking 118th out of 131 FBS teams. The run game is amazing, but that’s where Oklahoma State actually is decent on D.
Against the spread
OKLAHOMA STATE +1.5 (-108) doesn’t make a lot of sense to play unless you are absolutely convinced Kansas State (-112) is going to win by exactly 1 point. Just roll with the money line instead, and get plus-money.
Over/Under
OVER 55.5 (-110) is easily the best play on the board.
Oklahoma State’s offense hasn’t been slowed down much at any point this season, and Kansas State isn’t about to change that. And the Cowboys have been terrible on D, allowing 449.6 total yards per game. If the Wildcats can actually pass, this game will be easily in the 60’s or 70’s before the dust settles.
